17: How do I install a piece of Texinfo documentation?
First, you must turn the Texinfo files into Info files. You may do this
within Emacs, using "M-x texinfo-format-buffer", or with the stand-alone
"makeinfo" program, available as part of the latest Texinfo package at
ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/texinfo-3.1.tar.gz
and all prep mirrors (see question 89 for a list).
For information about the Texinfo format, read the Texinfo manual which
comes with Emacs. This manual also comes installed in Info format, so
you can read it on-line.
Neither texinfo-format-buffer nor makeinfo installs the resulting Info
files in Emacs's Info tree. To install Info files:
1. Move the files to the "info" directory in the installed Emacs
distribution. See
